St. Joseph's Catholic Church, Glasthule.

Email from God. Today I will be handling all your problems for you. I need no help, thank you—my way is the best way. P.S. I love you and remember …. if life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it yourself. Kindly put it in the SFGTD box ( something for God to do. All situations will be resolved but in MY time, not yours. I know what growth there will be in you, and what other things need to occur first. Once the matter is placed in the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now. Your Friend, GOD.

Our thanks for last Sunday’s offerings : Priests £ 1278 and Share £ 770.

You can help send a sick person to Lourdes this year with the Dublin Diocese by becoming an associate member with the pilgrimage. Please enter your name on the roll, at the entrance to the Church. Many thanks.
